Take part in Refugee Week, 18-24 June 2018

This June, Refugee Week will have been celebrating the contributions, resilience and creativity of refugees for 20 years.

Thanks to people like you, it has grown to become a powerful and unique national movement, bringing communities together and making space for a different story about refugees.

Here’s how you can get involved in Refugee Week 2018:

1. Do one Simple Act

To celebrate Refugee Week’s 20th anniversary, we’re inviting you to do one Simple Act to help change the way we see refugees, and ourselves.

When we first launched Simple Acts in 2009, people responded in their thousands.

This year we’ve created 20 Simple Acts, one for each year of Refugee Week. From sharing a refugees welcome poster to learning a song written in detention, they are simple things everyone can do to stand with refugees and make new connections in their community.

With your help, Simple Acts will happen in schools, museums and galleries, theatres, community venues, football pitches, offices, on Twitter, around the dining room table and anywhere else you can think of for Refugee Week 2018, and together we’ll help to change the conversation about refugees.
